About the role
- Work closely with the Architecture, RTL, DFT teams to ensure first-time-right high-volume silicon production
- Timing constraints improvement and timing constraints validation, signoff
- Static Timing Analysis and block-level timing closure
- Synthesis, block level floor-planning, power grid design, place & route, clock tree synthesis, electromigration / IR-Drop analysis, power/signal integrity analysis, crosstalk analysis, formal equivalence checking and physical verification (DRC / LVS / Antenna)
- Participate in developing improvements to scripts/methodologies/flows
- Interact closely with the design team to understand requirements and implement solutions as also helping on providing design views for use with digital PD flows (LIB, LEF, DEF, GDS, SPEF, etc.)
- Support IP and chip level integration
- Support and interact with customers on requirements and IP delivery
- Manage workload and schedule and report to internal management team
Requirements
